ATREMENOouS FIRE.
The Clifton Mill Totally Destroyed by Fire
Last Nisht-Loss, $4,000.


The village of Clifton, just on the Clark
and Greene county line, was visited with
terrible fire last night, which totally de
stroyed the Clifton Touring mill. The mill
WAS an immense structure, and one of tue
hest Touring mills in this section OF the
country. For some time the mill has been
running night and day, but during the past
three or four DAYS has been in operation
only in the day time. Last night about y
o'clock the watchman made round through
the mill and found nothing wrong.
At midnight a gentleman who was drlV-
ing past the mill noticed bright light ~
the southeastern portion of the mill, on the
second door. He supposed that the watch
man was going through the mill with his
lantern, and paid no more attention To IL
Ahout half an hour later another gentle
man, who was passing the mill, discovered
flames issuing from the structure, and al
once gave the ALARM.
The residents of the village and vicinity
were quickly aroused, and by O'Clock an
immense crowd had collected about the
burning mill. high wind was blowing,
and the flames spread fast and furlouSiN
through the interior of the burning build
ing. Fortunately for the surrounding
property, the mill was covered by a slate
roof. Had there been shlngle r0ot on
the building tine high wind might have
spread the ire to the entire village.
Notwithstanding the slate roof it was
with considerable difficulty that the houses
across the street were saved. Clifton has
no fire apparatus and the flames had to oe
permitted to take their course. BY stren-
Gus efforts on the part of the people the
flames were prevented from spreading
10 the saw mill and the wheat warehouse
near the mill. The warehouse was hlied
with wheat and tire loss on it would have
been very heavy.
A few hours after the fire was discovered
the building was total ruin. and
the valuable machinery and other
contents were entirely destroyed.
At the time of the fire there
were between IS, 600 and $1,000 bushels OF
wheat and 500 barrels of -four in the mill.
and the loss on both the wheat and flour Is
total.
The mill was equipped with the finest
roller process machinery and that, too, was
ruined.
The Clifton mill was owned and operated
by F., r. Stewart X Son, the senior MEM
Der of which firm resides in this city. The
loss on the mill and contents Is between
S25. 900 and $50. 900. and the Insurance Is
only $40, 900 or S12, 200. Several years ago
the Clifton mill was destroyed by fire, but
the loss was not by any means so heavy as
that on last nights fire.

For the United Lines Telegraph Co.
An ordinance granting the petition was
prepared OH the spot by City Solicitor Sum-
mers and put upon its first reading.
Section | of the ordinance grants the
right Of way on the streets and alleys above
named, with the provision that the lines
shall be constructed subject to the cOndi-
tions of the already existing ordinance on
telegraph lines, passed March IA, 1852. In
the second section, Solicitor Summers very
wisely puts in a prOviso Of the under
ground wire" type. The section is as fol-
lows:
Section . Said city of Springfield may,
at any time, by ordinance or resolution OF
its council. require such change OF changes
in the location or construction OF said tele-
graph line as said council may seem
advisable and may in the same manner, at
any time. require said line to be placed per-
mancntly under ground, and any violation
of or failure TO comply with any OF the
provisions of this ordinance by said United
Lines Telegraph company shall, at the op-
tion of said council, WORK forfeiture of all
the right and privileges granted TO said

The third and last section provides sim
ply that the ordinance shall take effect and
be in force from and after its legal publica-
ton.
The proposition was received with marked
favor by council last night The United
Lines company is really the great Is, q q.
system under a tributary name. 1t has
offices in all the larger cities and will
doubtless come into favor here. for the rea-
son that they 20 ION the echeap~-send twen-

The Nineteenth Century has been Pro-
life in discoveries and inventions for the
ameliOratiOn of suffering mankind, as well
as the useful arts and sciences. We live in
faster aye, therefore require more and
better facilities than they did in olden times,
which has stimulated our inventive genius
10 the fullest extent. The medicine which
our grandparents used would not be con-
sidtred of value in the treatment of diseases
of the present time. The discovery Of
GOOch's Mexican Syrup was the result of
the need of more active and certain cure
for coughs, consumption, pain in the breast
and all the diseases OF the throat and lungs.

1886, and 245, 100000 in 1885. The ex-
